Chromebook C202

21 January 2019

Dilemma, kids starting back to school and they need a Chromebook.
Plus
It is set up for Google Play already plus there is an option for Linux install.
The Google Play is something the kids are familiar with so no issues there however most apps are set. Up for tablets so be careful.

Linux is a great option since Chrome runs on a form of Linux any way, however it is more tech savvy. Command line interface is not for the average kid. Lot of chances to screw things up.

The look and feel is quality. I say this after having several high end HP products. It looks and feels like it might last a day with a teenager who doesn't care how much ... View MoreDilemma, kids starting back to school and they need a Chromebook.

This is an old machine, that tells me instantly it works, that's good news for me.

Battery life, while not being a record breaker with kids at the helm I managed 3 days before a recharge using a mixture of YouTube and general browsing. However I'm not 13.

Construction is good overall with bumpers and safe impact areas. I would recommend this over HP any day.

The storage is a bit light at 16 GB but to be fair Google is about cloud so no issues there.

.Negatives

The power plug really needs to be pushed home, it feels like it's not the right adaptor. I don't know what they were thinking here.

There is no generic app for the front camera. You will have to search for one that works.
I would like to see a manufactured app that works from the box.
Kids love cameras so I'm surprised they haven't got this covered.

Overall

This is a proven netbook that just works. Don't go below 4gb of RAM please.
Storage whilst mostly on cloud can be expanded by a slim SD card or stick. It's enough for school trust me.
The keyboard is water proof and construction is light years from HP who cheap out on solid construction.
This is a solid Chromebook that will last the duration.

Perfect for school

An excellent school device. The rugged case was appealing to us as we all know kids are likely to knock these things about. No issues at all and holds its battery power better than others.An excellent school device. The rugged case was appealing to us as we all know kids are likely to knock these things about.

Great value for money

4 March 2019

These little things are quite well built. Suitable for kids and teenagers. The battery performs well. Chrome OS is clean and stable. The rugged design and 180deg screen tilt is also an nice touch.

Only one thing I could wish it had was the ability to add more RAM.

Shaky start, but good in the long run

The first unit purchased had a failed display driver within 5 minutes of use. PB tech replaced without any hassles (thanks!) and the new unit is functioning as required. The small person using it loves the long battery life, keyboard feel and how robust it is.The first unit purchased had a failed display driver within 5 minutes of use.
